Opportunity Summary:
The Aging Research Dissertation Awards to Increase Diversity (R36) is a National Institute on Aging (NIA), National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant opportunity designed to support dissertation-stage research in areas that align with NIA strategic priorities. The central purpose is to expand and diversify the pipeline of scientists conducting research on aging and on health conditions related to aging. In practice, this means the award is meant to help doctoral candidates carry out research that will directly contribute to their dissertation while also strengthening representation and participation in the aging-research workforce.
This opportunity is a discretionary grant (Funding Instrument Type: Grant) under the NIH health research activity area, and it is tied to CFDA number 93.866 (Aging Research). It does not require cost sharing or matching funds, which generally lowers the financial barrier for institutions and trainees by not requiring non-federal dollars to be committed as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligible applicant organizations include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education, along with several categories of institutions that commonly serve underrepresented populations. Specifically called out as eligible are Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Hispanic Serving Institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), and Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs). Notably, the announcement also indicates that non-U.S. entities (foreign institutions) may apply, and that non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are eligible; foreign components, as defined in the NIH Grants Policy Statement, are also allowed. This broad eligibility structure signals that NIA is open to supporting dissertation research globally where it advances aging science and contributes to workforce diversity goals, within NIH policy.
The funding opportunity number is PAR-11-291, and it was posted on August 3, 2011 (with the same creation date). The original and current closing date listed is January 7, 2013, and the opportunity was archived on February 7, 2013. While the archived status means this specific announcement is no longer open for applications, the summary is still useful for understanding the intent and structure of the R36 mechanism and for locating later reissues or related NIA diversity-focused dissertation funding.
